Test Overview & Comparative Advantage
The GORAB Gene Geroderma Osteodysplasticum Genetic Test fully sequences the GORAB gene (1q24.2) responsible for Geroderma osteodysplasticum, a rare autosomal recessive disorder causing wrinkled lax skin, osteopenia, and susceptibility to fractures. This UAE‑based test returns clinically actionable reports within 3‑4 weeks, integrating 2026 DHA guideline‑based variant classification.

| Clinical Reports | DHA/MOHAP nomenclature, ACMG classification | Generic list of variants |
Physician Insight & Safety Protocol
“A positive GORAB variant does not equal a diagnosis; it must be correlated with the patient’s skin laxity, bone density, and family history. I encourage all families to combine this test with clinical evaluation and genetic counselling. You are not alone on this journey – our multidisciplinary team stands ready to guide you.”
Medication Warning
Do not discontinue or alter any prescribed medication without consulting your doctor. Genetic results may influence treatment but must be reviewed in the context of your current regimen.
Safety & Exclusion Criteria
- This is a germline genetic test and not intended for somatic or cancer profiling.
- Exclusion: Individuals unable to give informed consent (minors must have a legal guardian as per UAE CDS Law 2026).
- If you are pregnant or breastfeeding, discuss the implications with your physician before sample collection.
- Emergency Red Flags: Seek immediate medical attention if, after blood draw, you experience uncontrolled bleeding, signs of infection (redness, swelling, pus), severe dizziness, or fainting.
- Unapproved use of home‑collection in patients with known bleeding disorders; please inform our team.
This test is performed in compliance with Federal Decree‑Law No. 41 of 2024 (Art. 87) regarding medical Diagnostic services, UAE PDPL for genomic data privacy, and CDS Law 2026 provisions for minors.
Frequently Asked Questions (Patient Guidance)
1. What exactly does the GORAB NGS test detect?
The GORAB Gene Geroderma Osteodysplasticum Genetic Test identifies pathogenic single‑nucleotide variants, small insertions/deletions, and copy‑number changes across the entire coding region of the GORAB gene, providing a molecular confirmation for Geroderma osteodysplasticum syndrome.
يكشف تحليل تسلسل الجين GORAB عن الطفرات المرضية في كامل المنطقة المُشفّرة للجين، مما يثبت تشخيص متلازمة جيروديرما أوستيوديسبلاستيكم على المستوى الجزيئي بدقة عالية.
2. Who should consider this genetic?
Individuals with premature skin wrinkling, short stature, osteopenia/osteoporosis, and fractures of unknown origin, especially if a sibling is similarly affected or parents are consanguineous, are strong candidates for GORAB testing.
يُوصى بالفحص للأشخاص الذين يعانون من تجاعيد جلدية مبكرة، قصر القامة، هشاشة عظام وكسور غير مبررة، خاصة عند وجود قريب مصاب أو زواج أقارب.
3. How is the sample collected and is it painful?
A trained DHA‑licensed phlebotomist collects either a single drop of blood on an FTA card via finger prick (virtually painless) or 3‑5 mL of venous blood; the procedure is quick, safe, and performed under cold‑chain conditions in the comfort of your home.
يُجرى سحب العينة بواسطة ممرض مرخص من هيئة الصحة، إما بقطرة دم من الإصبع على بطاقة FTA غير مؤلمة تقريباً، أو بسحب وريدي بسيط، مع نقل مبرّد يحافظ على جودتها.
